Drunken Daredevil Rams Biden’s Motorcade—What Was He Thinking?

In a wild turn of events, a man from Wilmington, Delaware, managed to add some excitement to President Joe Biden’s motorcade departure from his campaign headquarters. No, he wasn’t a member of some evil plot against the president, but more of a real-life example of what not to do when you’ve had one too many. Yes, that’s right — the driver, identified as James Cooper, 46, not only drove under the influence but also crashed right into an SUV guarding the president’s motorcade. Seriously? Who does that?

Cooper’s silver sedan found itself on a collision course with the presidential motorcade when it smashed into the parked SUV, resulting in a slew of charges for Cooper, including driving while under the influence and inattentive driving. Authorities confirmed that Cooper, in an incredibly unfortunate stroke of luck, was oblivious to the fact that it was President Biden’s motorcade in his path. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time and making a terrible decision, right?

Imagine climbing into your car absolutely blasted and trying to make it home without getting busted and you left turn straight into the freakin President https://t.co/qnMqS8Tmhk

After being taken into custody, Cooper was later released with a summons to appear in court at a later date. Lucky for him, the authorities didn’t throw the book at him, considering the gravity of his offense. It’s a good thing for Cooper that it wasn’t a deliberate attack against the president, but let’s be real here — crashing into the presidential motorcade? It’s a different kind of “oops” moment entirely.

In the end, this whole incident serves as a solid reminder to all the folks out there who might need a ride home after a few drinks. Seriously, in the age of rideshare services, there’s really no excuse for getting behind the wheel under the influence. And as for Cooper, well, let’s just say he’s lucky to have walked away from the whole ordeal without facing even more serious consequences. But come on, man. Crashing into the president’s motorcade? That’s just a recipe for disaster — and a whole lot of trouble.
